Abstract (en)

The interaction feedback force data (IFFD) is generated to represent interaction feedback force (IFF) that increases with velocity information data (VID) so as to generate/exert IFF. The IFF decreases with VID for an increasing velocity (v) which represents the velocity with respect to respective haptic device or a pointing unit. Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) haptic interface unit; (2) computer program product for operating haptic interface unit; and (3) computer-readable storage medium storing haptic interface unit operation program.
